For the money, grab on of those GoPro hero cameras. Best buy has them. They're purpose built for being outside. Motorcyclists mount them to the handlebars. Airsofters mount them to helmets.

Those are great cameras. Work great on your helmet or even mounted on your shoulder. Never mount on your gun. The noise from the weapon out shadows everything I found, But I guess it would depend on the camera.

Little late on this thread, but FWIW the GoPro Hero is awkward and a PITA. The Contour HD (not gps) is cheaper (MSRP = $249 but I have seen them for $200), lower profile, and better quality; not to mention it gives you more resolution options. I haven't tested out the lense guard yet but they are pretty cheap to come by, get like 4 or 5 for $15. Batteries are cheap to, forget the model but they use the *same exact batteries* as a nokia phone (and I have tested it, since there are a lot of cheap knock offs) so you can find them for fairly cheap.

They also have a variety of mounts, including helmet, low profile, Picatinny rail, rotational, and goggles band mounts.
